Better understanding these systems is crucial to decarbonizing the built environment as cost effectively and quickly as possible. This presentation will share findings from a recently completed 4 year long research and demonstration project funded by the California Energy Commission that focused on these systems. The results include a demonstration of in-depth efficiency measures that reduced annual natural gas use by 70% in two existing large office buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area\, distribution heat losses measured in seven buildings\, an analysis of hydronic heating system data from hundreds of buildings nationwide\, and more. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n Paul Raftery\nPaul Raftery is a Professional Researcher at the Center for the Built Environment at UC Berkeley. He has a PhD in Engineering from University of Galway\, Ireland for developing a new method for calibrating building energy models to detailed measured data\, and a Bachelor's of Mechanical Engineering from Munster Technical University. Paul has 20 years of hands-on experience in HVAC engineering\, building automation systems and controls\, full-scale laboratory and field testing of HVAC equipment\, and new technology development.
